An exercise apparatus includes a resistance assembly, a flexible member, and a sensor network. The sensor network includes sensors that generate signals responsive to the amount of resistance selected by a user of the exercise apparatus and the user's interaction with the flexible member.

A detachable stabilizing support system for use on an exercise machine, such as a functional trainer exercise machine, has adjustable support positions and is capable of being configured between an exercise position and a more compact storage position.

There is provided an exercise machine. The machine includes an upright mounting assembly having a top and a bottom spaced-apart from the top. The machine includes a seat operatively connected to the mounting assembly. The machine includes a first pair of space-apart pulley assemblies rotatably mounted adjacent to the top of the mounting assembly. The machine includes a second pair of spaced-apart pulley assemblies rotatably mounted adjacent to the bottom of the mounting assembly. The machine includes a plurality of exercise resistance cables connected at proximal end portions to the mounting assembly and extending around and outward from the pulley assemblies.

An adjustable carriage assembly is configured to be mounted on a frame member of a weight rack and includes a locking structure for locking the carriage assembly in place on the frame member. The carriage assembly may include a moveable carriage with a plurality of rollers that engage the frame member, as well as one or more handles for gripping to adjust the position of the carriage assembly and a connection structure for connection of an implement or accessory. Various implements and accessories can be connected to or used in connection with the carriage assembly, including various weightlifting implements and accessories that are pivotably connected to the carriage assembly.

A functional training rig kit includes a box and a plurality of components adapted to fit within the box. The components include at least two posts adapted to extend in an upright direction from the box, the posts each having a length greater than the longest dimension of the box and including at least two elongate members dimensioned to fit within the box and adapted to be removably fastened together to form one of the posts. The components also include a bar adapted to extend transversely between adjacent posts, the bar being dimensioned to fit within the box. The components further include at least one angled support member for each of the posts, each support member being adapted to fit within the box and provided with structure for securing the support member to one of the posts and with structure to engage a ground surface.

Training apparatus 1 includes exercise equipment 3, 4 mounted to a side surface 8a or a roof 19 of a land vehicle or for mounting to a surface such as a wall of a building or ship. The exercise equipment includes a support structure which is attached to the surface 8a or roof 19 and is manoeuvrable by pivoting with respect thereto whilst remaining attached thereto, between a stowed condition and an exercising condition.

Disclosed is a swim trainer using a laterally displaceable torso support pad and two cables interconnecting the swimmer's opposite hands and feet: right hand with left foot, left hand with right foot. It incorporates tension physics with applied tension force displacement wherein the torso is supported with two degrees of motion, i.e., hinged front-to-back tilt and left-to-right displacement of the torso. The user's opposite hands and feet are interconnected by cables passing through pulleys located below the torso. As the user performs a simulated swim stroke, force is asserted on the cable ends, moving the entire body to the right or left along a defined lateral displacement path. The user controls the swimming stroke speed, therefore controlling the amount of resistance applied between hands and feet based on the lateral motion torso speed against torso weight pressing down on the central support.

An exercise bar is disclosed. The exercise bar may comprise: a shaft; a first rigid handle unit rotatably connected to the shaft at a distal end of the first rigid handle unit; a second rigid handle unit rotatably connected to the shaft at a distal end of the second rigid handle unit; a grip connected to a second end of the at least one arm; and a handles lock, wherein the handles lock has an unlocked state in which each of the first and second rigid handle units is free to rotate around the shaft independent of the other, and a locked state in which the first and second rigid handle units are rotatable together and at a same direction around the shaft.
